Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Hour Burden: To accommodate the split of regulations from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement to BOEM (76 FR 64432), BOEM is removing from this collection the requirements and corresponding burdens that were transferred to BSEE per Secretarial Order No. 3299, May 19, 2010. The OMB has approved those BSEE requirements and burdens on 9/14/12 under BSEE 1014-0022. This results in a program decrease of 22,449 hours. We are requesting a program increase of 2,585 hours due to adding two requirements that were previously overlooked, resulting in a net program decrease of 19,864 hours. We are also requesting an adjustment decrease of 16,752 hours due to re-estimating the number of annual responses and the amount of time required to respond based on consultations. Cost Burden: The currently approved OMB non-hour cost burden is $1,320,702. This submission requests $165,492. This represents a program decrease of $1,170,960 for deleting BSEE non-hour costs (now approved under 1014-0022) and an adjustment increase of $15,750 to accommodate inflation and re-estimating the number of annual responses.
